Assuming a sample of 400 voters is representative, 3/4 of the P99 population would start on a new blue server if it opened (and I would too).
This is consistent with other more general findings about MMORPG that 80% of players play less than 20 h/week and that only a small minority of 10-20% is motivated by hardcore raiding and max level content.
Those who were on Fippy progression server at release have seen the overwhelming attraction effect of an EQ server that allows to start anew.

The paradox is that if a new P99 opened, the old would instantly depopulate leaving only hardcore raiding guilds on it because they invested too much time in their characters, bank account and equipment.
It is however probable that they would move sooner or later too so that the net effect would be equivalent to a wipe and a reset of the old server.
The latter being much cheaper, faster and easier I would have no problem with a wipe and reset as an alternative proposal.

Nope. We'd just take over both servers. The infrastructure is already there.
